What are some knives that have both a wave opening feature and a flipper? Pictures would be appreciated!

Emerson Sheepdog and Viper Maga.

Maga has an unusual shape but in every respect higher quality and better value than the Sheepdog.

Sheepdog gives you various blade shapes.

Maga gives you various handle materials.

Both can be opened four ways: Wave, flipper, thumb and friction.

What makes the quality and value better? I've never owned an Emerson nor Viper so I wouldn't know.

The detent on both is medium-light and that's why it can open by friction alone.

I have about half dozen or so each of both Emerson and Viper folders. Viper folders are issue free from day one. Emerson has titanium lock stick which takes a while to break-in. On one of mine it had to go back for a new liner since it was at 100%.

Sheepdog runs for about $215-$225 with G-10. Maga runs for about $165-$175 for Micarta or Wood and $200-$215 for Carbon Fiber.

Sheepdog can be had with Spear Point or Bowie blades.
